A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I have no idea why but for many years I felt this way too. Then it just went away and I have no idea why I would be embarrassed about my legs. Shorts are great!

Did you perhaps become a father?

[–] Soulcreator@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does becoming a father make you less body conscious?

[–] QuizzaciousOtter@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Not even close!

Did you get a job as a postman?

[–] QuizzaciousOtter@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haha, nope, not this one too.

TBH I think I just became less self conscious and more confident about my body when I started exercising.

This is how it happened for me too. I started lifting and now comfortably wear shorts short enough to show some thigh lol
